What is their real purpose is to filter out candidates who are not agreeable enough to just shut up and take the test?

Not necessarily. Myers-Brigg's has done a great job of convincing corporate America that their test results mean something (and any personality test you may be given by your employer is probably Myers-Brigg's or some close facsimile thereof).
They are barely-better-than-horoscopes-junk-science... but people genuinely believe in the stuff.
More of a side note, but I've noticed a very recent trend on a dating app of profiles including their Meyers-brigg info.
Meyers Briggs is complete trash, I could easily get any result I wanted to. And at the end of the day it doesn't give any useful insight.
